To describe some of the distinctive elements of how I work I will use the Two Mountains Metaphor:
'It's like you're in the process of climbing up a big mountain that has lots of dangerous places on it.  My job is to watch out for you and shout out directions if I can see places you might slip or hurt yourself.  But I'm not able to do this because I'm standing at the top of your mountain, looking down at you.  If I'm able to help you climb your mountain, it's because I'm on my own mountain, just across a valley.  I don't have to know anything about exactly what it feels like to climb your mountain to see where you are about to step, and what might be a better path for you to take.'  
quoted from Twohig, M. (2004) ACT for OCD.
